Can you marry a Russian daughter-in-law with white skin, beauty and long legs for 8,000 yuan?
Such a good thing who does not want to touch!
China's visa-free policy to Russia, which began on September 15, has seen a big "tourism heat" on the first day.
Early in the morning, the Black River port of the Chelongjiang River was "pressurized" by endless Russian tourists.
Looking around, they are all "blonde hair and blue eyes".
Seeing that the scene is so lively, it seems that the reciprocal measures previously proposed by Putin will be put on the agenda.
At this crucial moment, however, female parliamentarians in Russia have spoken differently.
“If Russia also implemented visa-free travel to China, I’m afraid there would be a large number of Chinese men running to Russia for targets.”
As soon as the news came out, the public opinion of both countries directly "boiled".
How does that begin? is it real?
Going in two directions?
In fact, to a certain extent, the concerns of Russian lawmaker Svetlana Julowa are unfounded.
After all, Russian girls are very attractive to Chinese single men.
"In 1997, I had a house but no car, my job and income were stable, and no bride price!"
In some cities, you can even see Russian girls with the sign "recommend" their own.
Here comes the point, "no bride price".
At first glance, the Lord is still a beautiful blonde, with a large pair of eyes watery looking at you.
Who is not upset?
More importantly, these Russian girls still have a good impression of Chinese men.
Recently, Russia’s largest dating site, Mamba, just released a staggering data.
The survey found that up to 42 percent of Russian women aged 25 to 35 said they were willing to engage with Chinese men.
This is too surprising, to know that in the early years, Chinese men in the international reputation is not very good.
But now, with the rapid development of China's economy and the increasing closeness of China-Russia exchanges, the Russian girl has changed her view.
In particular, most Russian men have characteristics of alcoholism, big masculinity and homelessness.
Compared to them, honest and responsible Chinese men who are willing to help their partners with children are simply the "best choice."
It's just that the subjective will is so "in line", but it just so happens that objective factors are also pushing the two parties to "go in both directions".
In terms of population, China has always been a minority of men and women, with about 18 million more men than women in the marriage age group.
In this case, Chinese women's marriage requirements are still on the high side.
Not only do you want a high bride price, but you also have to ask the man to have a car and a house, and the cost of marriage is frighteningly high.
Russia is “supplementary”.
Back in 2020, official Russian statistics showed that they had about 11 million more women than men.
Today, this gap is widening.
The majority of Russian women are economically independent, with little demand for the other half.
This is why there will be so many Russian beautiful women in the corner of friendship that they must specifically mark "do not color."
Under the "matching" of various factors, the transnational marriage data between China and Russia has soared.
Last year alone, there were more than 200 Chinese-Russian transnational couples registered in Black River, an increase of 28% over the previous year.
If this trend continues, it is possible that Zhulowa's words will "match into reality."
Is it really so simple?I don’t know.
The Real Problems
In fact, the exchanges between Chinese and Russian personnel were relatively frequent before the formal implementation of the visa-free policy.
According to official statistics, in the first half of this year, Moscow received more than 200,000 Chinese tourists.
But it is worth mentioning that most of these tourists actually go to Russia for business purposes.
Either to attend some exhibition, or to talk about business and sign contracts, and you don't care about finding a partner at all.
As for the remaining tourists who go to Russia simply for tourism, they basically only want to see the scenery and shop.
They mainly consider a trip abroad to experience exotic landscapes, but did not think about bringing a foreign girlfriend back.
Take a step back, Even if the number of transnational marriages in China and Russia is rising, it does not mean that there are fewer “problems” with transnational marriages.
Don't look at the Russian girls who keep saying "no bride price", it costs a lot to really marry them home.
It is said that in order to solve the language barrier, the couple have to spend a lot of money in enrolling in classes to learn languages.
Coupled with living customs and cultural differences, many problems will only be exposed one by one after we really live together.
For example, most Russians prefer cold food, and they also like to eat beef and chicken every day, which will virtually increase food expenses.
Russian girls who have actually married in China will not be able to legally work for at least five years.
This means that the man has to bear all the expenses of the whole family within five years, which is far more "expensive" than the bride price.
More realistically, the cost of divorce for multinational couples is also not as low.
The process of getting married is not easy to complete, and in the case of divorce it will be repeated again and again, and even more difficult.
Someone has specially calculated that the average time required for cross-border divorce is at least 14 months.
The lawyer’s fees can be estimated during this period.
Compared to the attractiveness of single men and women on both sides to each other, these potential risks feared would make them “look backwards.”
Although Zhulova's words have some truth, in the long run, it seems that she is somewhat worried too much.
The creation of a new family consideration is definitely not only that paper policy, nor is love based only on "no gifts".
In contrast to marriage, the "benefits" of visa-free travel to China and Russia are more reflected in the economic level.
China's implementation of visa-free travel to Russia will greatly stimulate the consumption of Russian citizens to travel to China.
The same is true for vice versa.
If Russia is visa-free to China, with China’s huge population, the investment and consumption will only be more.
The visa-free policy mainly promotes the development of tourism in the two countries, and at the same time, it will naturally drive other "sideline businesses".
In a big way, it can promote further exchanges in macro fields such as science, technology and culture between the two countries.
Before Putin had officially implemented the reciprocal measures, the Russian people had begun to spontaneously "make a different path."
It is said that as of now, the number of travel companies that conduct visa-free tourism with Chinese-Russian groups has emerged across Russia is almost 600.
Before worrying about the massive influx of Chinese single men into Russia, think about how much the country’s economy will benefit.
Obviously, this is much more meaningful than the worrying problem of "marriage and love".
conclusion
Imagination is “crazy,” but reality is “reasonable.”
As netizens say, for most ordinary families, marrying a foreign daughter-in-law is more like "the moon in the mirror, the flowers in the water."
It is better to expect to go abroad without a visa to find love than to earn money honestly and open your eyes.
Of course, regardless of whether the number of transnational couples will really increase or not, it is not a bad thing that the two-way exchanges between China and Russia have reached a peak.
What needs to be done is to keep an open and friendly mind and cater to the trend of deep integration of the times.
